I Whisper Words of Thought

Lee Jinki Lee Jinki, Shinee’s Onew, has announced he will begin his enlistment for mandatory duty in South Korean military on December 10, 2018. I am beside myself with sadness. I am not sure what will happen to Shinee with the unreturnable loss of Jonghyun -and now Onew’s enlistment. By the time they release him from duty it will be time for Minho and Key to join. Then once they‘re released, Taemin will join. Will Shinee heal from this? Only time will tell, but I fear the worst even as I hope for the best. For a part, I’m not worried about Taemin, Minho and Key. Taemin has a strong soloist career. Key has produced his first release as a soloist and Minho has developed a career in acting. But, what about Onew? Onew began his acting career, but it was cut short when he was wrongfully arrested. He’s had a few duets that did well, but a solo career is something he hasn’t shot for. He released the song, In Your Eyes, from the …

Good Morning Call Netflix Original Japanese Drama 2016 17 episodes You may find this drama too ridiculous to watch, but I loved it. Since most of my time in front of the screen was while I bathed, my skin wrinkled daily as I sat through each episode (one at a time) soaking in the tub. No, it wasn’t the best drama I’ve seen. The acting parts were silly at times. I even wanted to tie Nao’s arms to her sides on occasion, but I adored this drama. You have to look past the whole manga theme and appreciate the simplicity of these lives. Questions: How can one girl be loved by so many men and not have an ego as big as Uehara’s? Once more, why is she always oblivious of the men who love her? Watch the drama and maybe you will see the same thing that captured my eye. It is a sweet drama about a boy and girl who love each other. The girl couldn’t possibly be more giddy and open about her …

Our basement was ruined by ground water and insurance refused to help cover damage. We’ve spent months rebuilding and my office only just got put back together. It’s been a rough few months and there is still much work to be done, without enough hours. I have much to write about but for now I will remain in hiatus. I’m struggling with the absence of Onew and now the death of our beloved, Kim Jonghyun. Shinee is my happy place. Depressed? Yes… Since Onew disappeared on August 12, 2017 along with the fear of losing Shinee in my life had been difficult. If you read my blog you know I love every member of the band. Minho and Onew are my 1st’s, but I love each of them. I was focused on fighting for the return of our Onew as, I believe many Shawols were. We didn’t see the many signs our Jonghyunnie left us. I often wonder if he sat in that lonely apartment wondering if we would guess in time. We didn’t. His …

Hwarang: The Poet Warrior 20 Episodes 2016 – 2017 Yes, I know I should start off with the lovely leads but how can I when Choi Min Ho is in this drama? Well, the answer would be that I can’t. Did you get a chance to see the shower scenes? Yes, Min Ho was upfront where he belonged. Not that I was paying close attention -but how could I miss him when he stands out? He had many memorable scenes, like teaching Moo Myeong what to do with his sister. As he talked he did pull ups on the side of the bed. Then he lead the group in the dance, and won us over in soccer. Is there anything this boy can’t do? Still, I felt sorry for him when the queen struck him. Was he crazy about her because she was the only girl he couldn’t capture the heart of, or was it really love? I was proud of my boy. Park Seo Joon (Park Yong Gyu) is perfect in this drama. He is …

Tunnel 16 episodes 2017 I love Choi Jin Hyuk (born Kim Tae Ho). I first saw him in Heirs (Won New Star Award at 2013 SBS Drama Awards), but I remember him most for Emergency Couple. He’s made so many wonderful dramas: Panda and the Hedgehog; Pride and Prejudice (Which he won Excellent Actor 2014 MBC Drama Awards); Fated to Love You; Grandpas Over Flowers Investigation Team; Gu Family Book; Pasta; It’s Okay, Daddy’s Girl. I thought it was my first time to watch Yoon Hyun Min -but surprisingly no… He was in episode 4 of Because It’s The First Time with Choi Min Ho and Beautiful Mind. I can’t say I remember him from either drama. Yet, I will be watching him for now on. Another one new to me is also new to the Korean Drama World we love. Lee Yoo Young has made a handful of movies but Tunnel is her first drama. She won Best New Actress at the 2015 Blue Dragon Film Awards for a movie called The Treacherous. She also …

Strong Woman Do Bong Soon 16 episodes 2017 Park Bo Young is adorable! She stole the show from the first moment she threw a few men around. Even though I only like men -I was smitten with this girl. She is fun, innocent, dynamic and exciting to watch on the screen. Yes, the strength is apparently fake, but she still convinced you with her confident character acting. I also loved her in Oh My Ghost which she won the 4th APAN Star Awards for Excellent Actress (Mini Series). I was excited they came out with another drama starring Park Hyung Sik so quickly after Hwarang. In this drama he gets to be the lead male. He is super pretty and pops a nice kiss. I could absolutely do without the gay scenes -but the moments he is male -I find these moments very appealing. I am currently watching High Society but I haven’t gotten far enough to see if I like it. He won the 2015 SBS Drama Awards for Excellent Actor (Mini Series) for his role. …
